It might seem like the arena here is done because I am playing on it, but it really isn't. In the last photo of the previous post, you can see that the tiles can get completely washed out in the right light. You could argue that this is cool, but I would rather they stand out a little more. Plus they are messy, so I need to tidy them up. Here is a blurry shot of how they are darkened up a bit. (The ones in the centre, the ones at the edge are still light.)
One thing I think I did wrong is that I glued the tiles too close to each other. When I'm painting them, there is no gap to shade in, really, so it just looks like a smooth surface, whereas I wanted them to look like tiles. With a lack of real grouting, I tried to paint in a little bit of shading on the lower middle tiles in this shot. So far so good.
I think I want more columns. The four just aren't enough. It will look really nice with six or eight.
Blood pool coming up soon.
